The Reds only offloaded the Argentine winger to Chelsea last summer in a \u00a340million move, after he burned all bridges at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">However, it now appears as though the 22-year-old could be on the move once more, having failed to find his footing at Stamford Bridge. While Garnacho managed a goal and four assists in 24 Premier League matches last season, stiff competition saw him demoted to the bench for large parts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">And in an interesting turn of events, Chelsea are now said to be willing to listen to offers for the forward &#8211; despite him being under contract until 2032. Garnacho was missing from pre-season training last week, with Xabi Alonso pressed on the matter at his first conference in West London on Monday.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"Factbox_factbox-container__hSMOa\" id=\"factbox\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Entering Factbox content\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-articleid=\"34068266\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"factbox\" data-testid=\"factbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(max-width: 615px) 615px, (max-width: 810px) 810px, 1168px\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/article34068146.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s1168v\/0_Screenshot-2026-06-04-at-163123.png\" srcset=\"&#10;        https:\/\/i2-prod.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/article34068146.ece\/ALTERNATES\/n615\/0_Screenshot-2026-06-04-at-163123.png 615w,&#10;        https:\/\/i2-prod.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/article34068146.ece\/ALTERNATES\/n810\/0_Screenshot-2026-06-04-at-163123.png 810w,&#10;        https:\/\/i2-prod.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/article34068146.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s1168v\/0_Screenshot-2026-06-04-at-163123.png 1168w&#10;    \"\/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"HeadingThree_heading-three__PBHLs Factbox_heading-three__NXU52 __className_740576\">Get YOUR Man United Newsletter<\/h3>\n<div class=\"Factbox_content__xdMV8\">\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Get the best United news, updates and analysis straight to your Inbox courtesy of the Manchester Evening News!<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">To get it, it&#8217;s a simple one-two punch.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"NumberedList_numbered-list__oytz_\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"ordered-list\">\n<li class=\"LiItem_li-item__IF4xI\">Head <strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">THIS WAY<\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"LiItem_li-item__IF4xI\">Enter your email and hit <strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">Subscribe.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">When asked about the situation, the Spaniard replied: &#8220;We have spoken with the sports directors, and there is an interest from him, from other clubs, so let&#8217;s see how it develops,&#8221; further casting doubt on his future with the Blues. However, the crux is that Chelsea are only willing to listen to permanent offers for Garnacho and harbour no interest in letting him leave the club on loan this summer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">While Roma were initially thought to be toying with the idea of signing Garnacho on a temporary basis for 2026\/27, it now appears as though they are looking to rejig their attacking line to free up transfer funds. Sunderland AFC have been linked with one of their current wingers, Matias Soule.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Sources indicate that Roma are accelerating discussions with the Black Cats to facilitate a deal which would give them the financial room &#8211; as well as squad space &#8211; to pursue Garnacho. Chelsea are thought to value their talent at around \u00a343m this summer, meaning that a deal will not come cheaply.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">And should Roma pay what is expected from Chelsea, it could see Manchester United land a decent chunk for their own transfer kitty. United are entitled to a 10 per cent sell-on clause for Garnacho, which could come as a much-needed boost over the coming months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">United are already set to pocket a financial windfall from Mason Greenwood after he joined Fenerbache this week in a deal worth \u00a338m.<\/p>\n<div class=\"AffiliateContentsEmbed_affiliate-contents-container__oTiet\" data-testid=\"affiliate-contents-embed\">\n<div data-testid=\"affiliate-content\" class=\"AffiliateContent_affiliate-content-container__10EX_ affiliate-content\">\n<p>England&#8217;s 2026 World Cup kits<\/p>\n<div class=\"AffiliateDisclaimer_affiliate-disclaimer__dG5ST\">\n<div class=\"AffiliateDisclaimer_affiliate-text__8nmDa\">This article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.
